A2: I will never forgot one particular student who got a book from my "Blind Date with a Book" display. They came back to me and said how much the book meant to them and how they saw themselves in the book. They came back weekly to get a new book after that. Best day of my life. #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM

A1: My favorite memory of a school library was as a middle school student. Our librarian always had the best books and knew what books to recommend to us. She was the nicest person on the whole campus! #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM

Book 15 of 2024 -- a fabulous, fast paced, emotional fantasy romance! I could not put this one down. I highly recommend this book to fantasy romance readers!

February was a little busier than last month, so I didn't read as many books, but it was a good month of books! All but one was a 4+ stars: 3 thrillers, a fun romance, a Texas Bluebonnet Award book, and a cozy mystery.

Book # 8 of January. I’ve been bad and only reading adult books, so maybe next month I can catch up on some children’s and YA lit.
I really enjoyed this contemporary romance, the characters are both very likable. The plot touches on mental health and having a healthy sexual relationship.

Finished this one yesterday and still thinking about it. I’m between 3.5 and 4 ⭐️ I definitely ended with a 💔
It’s really a beautiful story about family dynamics and allowing yourself to love who your heart loves.

High school. Publishers say adult, but there isn’t anything spicy. A bit too dark and violent for anything under 9th/10th grade though.

Just finished The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose, the sequel to The Maid. 4⭐️ to this cozy mystery! Hoping for a third book about Molly Bookthreads #bookstagram #bookreviews #whattoread #books

Just finished this book with this beautiful cover! This is a different take on the Cinderella story, a dark retelling where Cinderella is a villian. 3 ⭐️ - it gets a little muddled in the middle, but if you like dark retellings, you will like this one #bookreview #skybrarian #schoollibrarian

Finished the first book of the year yesterday. The Last Caretaker by Jessica Strawser. It was my @amazon #FirstReads from November but just reading it. 3.5 ⭐️ A good thriller, but not too jumpy or scary. A cute mystery.
